1. How Do I Place My Civil Partnership Stationery Order?

Ordering from us couldn't be simpler! The only hard part should be trying to choose from all the styles shown!

Please do contact us if you need any help with making your decision. Once you've made up your mind, simply order your selected invitations and confirm the quantity you require.

Once we process your order for stationery or any items which are to be personalised, a straightforward form will be automatically e-mailed to you which will outline the info we require. You will also receive a wide range of typefaces to choose from.

From this we will produce an electronic proof of your invitation wording.

If you have any special requests, please just include details on the form and we'll do all we can to accommodate you. Then you can relax, let us do the hard work and get your order delivered to you in plenty of time for the Big Day!

2. How Long Will It Take To Receive My Order?

Most of our stock items are despatched within 1-3 working days. In the event of an item being out of stock, we will endeavour to have it with you within 14 days. Where this is not possible we will contact you to advise you of this. If you are on a tight deadline and need your item in a hurry, please e-mail us to verify the delivery timeframe and we'll do our best to help. Please allow us on average 6-8 weeks for personalised stationery although we will process your order more quickly if we can.

6. Placing An Order From Outside The UK

The Pink Pear welcomes international orders. Once you have chosen the items you wish to purchase, you can contact us for an exact shipping cost. We'll calculate this for you based on weight & destination.

Taxes, Duties & Brokerage Charges

We are not responsible for any duties or taxes associated with your shipment. Any applicable taxes, surcharges, VAT fees, import duty or brokerage charges on imported goods must be paid for by the customer. If you have questions regarding this, please contact your local taxation department.

7. What are your Postal (Shipping) Charges?

Due to the volumes of orders we handle, we operate a flat rate charge of £3.95 including VAT for all UK mainland orders (excluding stationery). This has the benefit of speeding up order processing (especially during peak periods) and you never need to worry about how much your postage will be because it will always be the same no matter how large or heavy your order is! (**Stationery orders are priced at a flat rate of £10).

The charge is worked out as an "average" of what it costs us to send out all orders and covers our basic expenses including VAT and is still, we believe, a very reasonable charge. For customers who wish to place smaller orders, we recommend that you group your smaller orders together to make the most of the flat rate charge. If you feel unsure in any way about your postal charge, please do get in touch and we'll work out a cost based on your exact order.

We pride ourselves on taking personal care of your orders to ensure your shopping experience with us is honest, friendly and above all, that you have a great time and come back again!

We want you to feel confident about shopping with The Pink Pear and to be totally satisfied with your purchase. If you have a problem we want to help resolve that for you. All of our products come with a 7 day no quibble guarantee, with the exception of personalised and perishable items.

To keep our customers satisfied, returns are a simple and easy process. If you have a query or a problem with your order, please notify us as soon as possible and we will advise you how to proceed.

All Returns must have an RA number posted clearly on the outside of the return package or box. All personalised and custom designed products are non-returnable or refundable. In addition, under the Consumer Protection Distance Selling Regulations you may cancel your order for any reason within 7 Days of ordering.

We will accept authorised returns as long as the items are unused and securely wrapped in the original packaging. We will gladly offer you either an exchange or refund (excluding any postage & merchant service fees) providing goods have been returned within 7 days of receipt and arrive back with us in perfect/saleable condition in their original packaging. Please return items to us using registered (signed for) delivery or ask for proof of postage, both available at your post office, please remember to keep any receipts. For your protection, we suggest customers use a trackable shipping company for items over the value of £39. For heavier items please call us to arrange collection.

If an order needs to be returned due to damage during transit, we need to be contacted within 3 business days of receipt of the merchandise to obtain a return authorisation so that we can immediately file a damage claim with the courier. We can offer an exchange for the correct product or a full refund.
